Tinubu delivers keynote address at UK House of Commons today

Former Lagos State governor and National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will today be the lead speaker at the British African Diaspora Conference in the United Kingdom.

The event will start at 7pm at the Grand Committee Room, Westminster Hall, House of Parliament, London.

The conference, with the theme: Leadership, National Development and the People, will be hosted by a senior member of the British Parliament, Mr. David Lammy, MP. He will be joined by Mr. Ivan Lewis MP, Shadow Secretary for International Development as well as other top politicians from various parties in the British political circle.

They will share thoughts and deliberate on salient issues of national development, as they concern Nigeria, Africa and the UK.

A statement yesterday by Mr Sunday Dare of Tinubu Media Office, Lagos, quoted African Partnership Development, the UK body behind the convocation of the conference, as saying the choice of Asiwaju Tinubu as the keynote speaker, alongside other African leaders and top members of British Parliament, is to “stimulate proactive actions and deepen the understanding of the international community and the Diaspora public on the challenges of national development against progressive leadership in Africa from the perspective of the most populous black nation, Nigeria”.
